Hi Alexander,

that is great news. Did you consider "cooperation" with Thomas Wagner
(he has built http://sfe.opencsw.org/localhostoih which contains some
SFE packages - see also his note on
http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Spec+Files+Extra+Repository)?

BTW, he has LibreOffice in it :-)

My impression is that /hipster-encumbered might overlap with...

With best regards.
